The brand-new issue of OHIM's Alicante News dedicates its
monthly design focus to the largely blond(e) jurisdiction of Sweden, the monarchy where the krona is king. Says the report:
"With over 10,000 registrations since 2004, the registered Community design is popular with Swedish undertakings. Last year there were more than 1,400 RCD filings with classes 8, 14 and 23 in highest demand.
The majority of Swedish filers prefer the online route, with over 65% now using e-filing. However, fax continues to be popular at 23% and mail accounts for 12% of filings".
Can any reader account for the mysterious popularity of faxes in Sweden? Why should it be so different from Spain, where e-filings and traditional post account for 96% of filings? Does this reveal something of the Swedish psyche? I think we should be told. Anyway, the Top 10 Sweden-based owners of registered Community designs, by number of RCDs filed, are as follows:
SCA HYGIENE PRODUCTS AB 621
Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB 571
Aktiebolaget Electrolux 550
Dresser Wayne AB 548
Svedbergs i Dalstorp AB 403
ANZA AB 352
Gambro Lundia AB 342
Eggtimer Kitchengadgets Inter AB 321
HTC SWEDEN AB 320
HL Display AB (publ) 308
